Physical therapy is a form of treatment that can be used to treat illnesses from almost all medical disciplines. It includes both active and passive forms of therapy. The focus of physiotherapy is the body's ability to move and function. Both can be impaired by an illness, a congenital maldevelopment, but also by everyday and long-term incorrect strain. Physiotherapy pursues the overarching goal of improving or restoring impaired mobility and function and eliminating the associated pain. The focus of every treatment is on encouraging the patient's own activity. The aim is therefore to enable ...
Physical therapy on the device, also abbreviated to KGG, is an individual medical training therapy. The aim of this treatment method is to increase motor learning ability in order to enable efficient and joint-friendly movement sequences. This includes, among other things, building up the muscles (hypertrophy) and increasing intraand intermuscular coordination as well as improving balance. This expands the motor control, adaptation and adjustment skills. With this therapy, we are able to eliminate the patient's complaints by consciously building up the body's own resources. After an accident or an operation, the patient is ...
Manual therapy is used in medicine to treat functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system, i.e. joints, muscles and nerves. Manual therapy is based on special hand movements and mobilization techniques that eliminate movement disorders and relieve pain. The treating physiotherapist first examines the joint mechanics, muscle function and coordination of movements before an individual treatment plan is drawn up. Manual therapy uses both passive techniques and active exercises. Physiotherapists can mobilize and unblock blocked or restricted joints using specific techniques. In addition, the treatment result is ...
Manual lymphatic drainage is a very pleasant form of decongestion therapy. The flow of lymph in the body is stimulated and drained using gentle grips, pressure and relaxation techniques. It is primarily used as a therapy and treatment to stimulate the flow of lymph in swollen areas of the body. These are caused by trauma, operations and chronic or acute diseases of the lymphatic system. For treatment, we use a comprehensive complex complete decongestion therapy (CDT) that combines important elements. The desired results can only be achieved if all the components of CDT are used together ...
A functional disorder of the jaw joint, also known as temporomandibular joint dysfunction, or TMJ for short, is a disorder of the chewing system. It is often associated with jaw misalignment. Disturbances in the connection of the rows of teeth, caused by stress-related teeth grinding, can lead to permanent irritation of one or both jaw joints. The tone (muscle tension) of the chewing and swallowing muscles as well as the cervical spine muscles increases permanently. If the jaw joint is not working and is not in the correct mechanical position, this can often lead to disorders that result in painful and extensive symptoms. As a result, a change in the entire statics of the body can occur ...
The sling table is an important part of physiotherapy treatment after certain orthopedic diagnoses. As part of sling table therapy, the body or individual body parts such as the pelvis, legs or head are suspended in slings and cables. The aim is to relieve pressure on the joints and spine. This enables treatment in which the effect of gravity on the body is partially eliminated, which enables movements during treatment that could previously only be performed with pain or restrictions. Sling table therapy is used primarily for numerous orthopedic diseases. For example, in the case of an acute herniated disc, sling table treatment with a pelvic-leg ...
Thermotherapy is used in the form of fango packs, red light (infra red) or a hot roll, among other things. Due to its blood circulation-promoting and thus detonizing (relaxing) effect on the muscles and tissue, it is often used as a supportive measure in therapy. This can be done before the actual therapy in order to reduce the tone (tension) of the muscles surrounding the joint and then mobilize it afterwards. Even after a treatment, it can be therapeutically necessary to intensify the blood circulation in the body again using heat therapy.
Electrotherapy is almost exclusively prescribed as a complementary remedy and usually serves specific goals. An example would be the treatment of an inflamed tendon. The physiotherapy based on this then serves, among other things, the overarching goal of statically aligning the corresponding structure so that the tendon is permanently relieved and does not become inflamed again. The electrical current affects various control mechanisms in the body. This happens primarily through the stimulation of nerves, which in turn control specific body functions. Four basic principles of action are in the foreground here ...
Ultrasound therapy is almost exclusively prescribed as a complementary treatment and usually serves specific goals. An example would be the treatment of a poorly healing fissure in a vertebra. This begins with a thorough anamnesis by the physiotherapist, who then individually adjusts the duration, frequency and strength of the treatment. Ultrasound therapy allows high-frequency sound waves to penetrate deep into the body, where they trigger both a thermal and a mechanical (vibration) effect in the tissue. Ultrasound therapy can be used to treat the affected structure locally and stimulate the nerves supplying it. Typical areas of application include muscle or tendon inflammation, fractures, scars and tissular adhesions.
The classic massage is one of the best-known and oldest healing methods. Massages can be used as a stand-alone treatment, but they are often used alongside other forms of therapy. If necessary, they are prescribed by the doctor. The classic massage combines various grip techniques such as stroking, kneading, rubbing, tapping and vibration to loosen the muscles and revitalize the body.
The following basic principles of action ...
